From link to first photo
| Gather | WedShoots | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting started | A QR scan or link opens the album directly in the browser. | The official guest instructions ask people to install WedShoots and find the wedding. |
| Across devices | One responsive album link for phones, tablets and computers. Guests don’t need everyone on the same photo service. | The guest journey centres on the wedding-sharing app, with its own shared albums and photo filters. |
| Choosing your album | Complete themes with control over fonts, colours, headers and layouts. Hosted or free self-hosted. | A free wedding-sharing app with filters and privacy settings. |
